@Chris - I know I didn't, until just now. On my screen there's probably about 70 icons ATM, and I probably use between 5 and 10 on a regular basis. The address bar isn't used in my browser very often because of these things called "bookmarks". If I ever noticed that icon before, I assumed it was some kind of Firefox gimmick for working with addresses and ignored it.

It has to support the "manage search plugins" option, and have discovery working. I'm using Firefox 3.0.2 on Fedora 9, so it definitely works under linux. It may just be that your version of firefox doesn't autodiscover.

In Opera, you can right click on the SO search box and click "Create Search" to add it to your list of search sites.

It get's better if you assign a keyword to StackOveflow as search engine for Firefox (e.g. "so"). You can then type something like "so python+hidden" directly as URL into Firefox.

@Gabriel - também gostei do calendário e valeu um Badge para mim (I also like the calendar and I got a badge for it) :-) "You've earned the Necromancer badge for Hidden features of Stack Overflow" - this message is great too, just right for Halloween!

It already says I visited tomorrow. Now I am tempted to stay off tomorrow to create a space time paradox. Either that or the official time zone is different than my local time, but where's the fun in that?

True, and you can also trigger reputation recalc there.

@ShaWizDowArd used to be correct, but due to changes since his comment was posted, /reputation no longer has any effect on your reputation, it simply displays what you currently have.

@Richard as far as I know, it's still possible to recalc and it's still making changes in rare cases where it wasn't updated automatically. IMO this answer should stay. See here a related post.

Quote from mibbit: Connections via mibbit are no longer supported on freenode. You may wish to consider using webchat.freenode.net instead

Except none of the support team is available when you need them :(

@George: It's not a support channel! It's a mostly off-topic channel for socialising. (I speak as one of the very first people to come to that channel, back when it started in August 2008. It was founded by non-SO-staff, and even now, SO staff coverage is very thin; Geoff Dalgas comes in occasionally, but nobody else.)

Actually Shift+Enter is a continue formatting command: I.e. it doesn't continue extra indenting within code, but it does add the first 4 needed spaces if you're already in code. It also adds the next numeric value for a numbered list, a copy of the first mark for an unnumbered list, and for both of the latter it "fixes" the other numbers/marks to be sequential/the same. It also continues > blockquotes.

It's possible to view the markup used to create any question or answer. (This may be useful if you wish to combine answers or quote part of the question with formatting.)

If the question or answer has been edited so that it has an edited X timeunits ago link, you can use that to view the revision history, then use the view source link.

If it hasn't been edited then you can still view the revision history, but you'll have to manually enter the url in your browser's address bar. For questions, take the number in the middle of the page's url; for answers use the link link for the answer to get it's unique number in the anchor of the url (after the # character) and then go to:

While in the /about page aka guided tour of any site (e.g. Stack Overflow about page) in the network, press the following keys in the following order:upupdowndownleftrightleftrightBAenter.
This is known as Konami code, and will cause the site icon on top of the page to become the Stack Exchange Venn Euler diagram.

If on mobile device, the following should work: tap-drag up, tap-drag up (,down,down,left,right,left,right), and then tap thrice.

Don't do that. It's an abuse of the markup, which is supposed to be for superscripts and subscripts. And it'll look horrible if you have multiple lines of text.

@Mechanicalsnail I just shared something I've seen lots of times here, not my idea. But personally I think that since we don't have any <small> tag it can be useful to show small sized text.
